The holding cell in the Balboa County Sheriff's department was freezing and the Deputy's still hadn't removed his cuffs. This was insane; someone was setting him up… again. Logan really wished that his lawyer Cliff McCormack would hurry up and arrive soon.

One of the witnesses from the Felix Toomes murder investigation had turned up dead… in the back of his car? How could that even happen? His car had been impounded by the Sheriff's Department out of spite!

Havier "Shiv" Alonso. One of the last two people to see Felix Toomes still breathing on that bridge.

He closed his eyes and willed away the image of a dead Felix lying in the middle of the road, the smell of the blood tasted like pennies on the back of his tongue. He would still wake up from the nightmares of seeing those glassy eyes reaching out at him over the darkness. The urge to punch something had been slowly building up steadily since his arrest earlier today.

Kendall Casablanca's and her husband were dead? If the truth ever came out about that affair… he'd be a suspect in that murder too. His dad had tried to murder his girlfriend and his best friends by sending that school bus over a cliff… Had Kendall only been useful as long as she'd kept Logan from getting on that bus?

Why was the universe trying to punish him like this?

Some mystery witness shows up months after he'd thought this was all over the very week that Veronica decided she loved him as much as he loved her? Someone was trying to ruin his life… he had to find out why.

He'd been at home with Veronica all night but someone had tampered with the records of his electronic monitor, how was that even possible?

He was so lost in his own musings that he hadn't noticed the smug Sheriff sauntering into the holding cells accompanied by his favourite lap dog, Deputy Briar.

"You broke into the impound lot, probably had your little buddy here help you…" Lamb had sneered at him through the bars as he showed Logan the crime scene pictures of the Hispanic boy's body curled up in the back of his trunk. "What's the matter, did you see the opportunity and finally decided to pop him a few and rid yourself of another witness?" the Sheriff had interrogated.

"It wasn't me" Logan snapped.

"The GPS data suggests otherwise" Lamb argued.

"Well according to your Deputy, half of Neptune went Dark" Logan retorted with his usual casual insolence designed to set teeth on edge. Flaunting an attitude with authority figures as a reflex of his. "Get my Lawyer" Logan demanded and he watched as Lamb's lips twisted in that way that said he'd rather drink poison than obey.

"He's on his way… and that data, came directly from your monitor, at the source" Lamb snarked.

"Then I am sure you wouldn't mind supplying us with the most recent calibrations data, servicing contract and maintenance logs of your monitoring system, as well as all relevant data for the cyber defence of your security systems so we can independently verify this monitor evidence you are using to hold my client" Cliff demanded as he walked into the small holding cell room.

Logan looked up and sighed gratefully as he saw the middle aged man standing in his off-the-rack brown suit, holding his brief case.

"Client Attorney Privilege.. if you could be so kind as to supply us with an appropriate office and those records I asked for… perhaps a coffee, cream, two sugars and some adequate heating or blankets for the occupants of this holding room" Mr McCormack added as the Sheriff glared at him.

"Sure" he said through gritted teeth.

"I am so glad to see you" Logan admitted as he stood up.

"Deputy, could you remove these from my client?" Cliff asked Deputy Briar as he stood supervising.

"Sheriff says he's to keep them on" Briar replied.

"Section 7, paragraph 4 of the California handbook… the young man clearly does not pose any flight risk in his current accommodation's, and continued use of restraints in this manner could constitute cruel and unusual punishment" Cliff warned him.

"Even trouble-makers have civil rights" Logan sneered as he jingled the cuffs; there was no mistaking his sarcasm. He'd always been a witty bastard though hadn't he?

The Deputy made no moves to take them off; instead he just turned and went to seek approval from his superiors.

"Can't you just spend at least a few days staying out of here?" the weary lawyer asked. "I've seen your house… it is decidedly much nicer accommodation's… or is it that you just really enjoy my company? Because although I am flattered. I could suggest some much better venues… Venues with errrr delightful young women working their way through College and alcohol" Cliff mused sarcastically.

"One of the other witnesses from the case was just killed" Logan told him.

"Ah yes.. so I have heard… a Have-er Heavier… Javier Alonso" Cliff said as he read the name off the case file.

"Havier Alonso" Logan corrected. It was a well-known fact in Neptune High that the nurse in the hospital where Havier had been born had made a mistake when recording the name on his birth certificate, born to a teenage non-english speaking mother at the time, the name had stuck.

"He's the nephew of Latoya Alonso, CPKW 97.4 afternoon talk show…. This will no doubt be generating a lot of press" Cliff sighed. "It says here that the body was found in the trunk of your car"

"My car has been impounded at the Sheriffs impound lot since my original arrest" Logan sighed and flashed his ankle monitor.

"Well.. right now we need to seize the footage from the impound lot, try and canvas the place for any other witnesses… then there is the matter of the gun which was found at the scene with your prints on it" Cliff said quietly and checked the cell next to them. They were alone.

"It's mine… well… it's a friends" Logan confessed.

"Does this friend have a name?" Cliff said opening his notebook.

"Richard Casablanca's" Logan told him.

"As in… the recently deceased… all over the news… murdered yesterday evening… Richard and Kendall Casablanca's?" he asked and Logan nodded. "Well… I'll say this for you kid… you do sure like to keep the case interesting" Cliff sighed.

"Sheriff says interview room 6 is free" Deputy Ryan's said as he entered the room.

"I should have brought bigger notepad…" Cliff said looking at the small notebook in his hand as he watched Logan's cell being opened and Deputy Sachs helped to escort him to the small interview room so they could continue their consultation.
